Sun Life is maintaining the Sun Life dividend scale, including the dividend interest rate of 6.25%, effective April 1, 2019. Click here to learn more.

The dividend scale is sensitive to changes in performance factors such as investment performance, mortality rates, taxes, lapses and expenses. The dividend scale interest rate isn’t the return that you can expect to receive on your policy. It’s a rate that reflects the investment experience of the par account that is passed back as part of the dividend. Other portions of your specific dividend include mortality, expenses and taxes.

The Board of Directors of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada approved this decision based on the recommendation of Sun Life Financial’s appointed actuary, and in accordance with Sun Life Financial’s dividend policy.
